Baldur’s Gate 3’s First Big Patch Covers ‘Over 1000’ Problems

Jul 25, 2023

Developer Larian Studios released its first major patch for the behemoth 5E Dungeons & Dragons role-playing game Baldur’s Gate 3, and it is, likewise, huge. The patch addresses “over 1000 bugs, glitches, and blockers” found throughout the game, Larian wrote on Twitter August 25, resulting in a patch so vast that the accompanying notes “actually exceeded Steam’s text limit.” One crucial fix? “Short players will have an easier time kissing.” Let the gnomes of Faerûn rejoice!

Those full patch notes list some spoilers, so view it cautiously if you’re afraid of them. The full patch notes are also truly—as Larian admitted and Steam safeguarded against—comically, Biblically long. I wrangled a limited few spoiler-free highlights so you could get the idea, though.

And here are the really important improvements…

Is there a fix you’re especially happy to see? Does BG3 have another issue you’re waiting for Larian to address? Let me know in the comments.

BG3 releases on PS5 September 6; its Xbox version will come out sometime this year, though it will lack splitscreen play on the Series S.
